Categories     Main Dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tbsp virgin coconut oil
4 tbsp yellow curry paste
2 15-ounce cans of coconut milk (high quality, see notes)
1 or 2 cups chicken stock
4 carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/8″ rounds
4 medium-size potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
1 yellow onion, sliced into wedges, then halved
2 chicken breasts, very thinly sliced
1.5 tsp fish sauce, plus more to taste
3/4 tsp salt, plus more to taste
1.5 tsp sugar, plus more to taste
cilantro, for garnish
lime wedges, for garnish
serve with jasmine rice

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the curry paste to the oil, and stir-fry until fragrant, about two minutes. Take care to scrape any bits that stick to the bottom of the pot with your spoon.
  • Spoon in the coconut solids from the top of the can first, and allow it to fry with the paste for a minute. Stir in the rest of the coconut milk (or coconut cream) and 1 cup of chicken stock. If you would like the curry to be thinner/soupier, then you can add 1 more cup of stock. Bring to a low boil, then turn the stove down to a simmer.
  • Stir in the potatoes. When the potatoes are about halfway cooked through, stir in the carrots and onions.
  • Once the carrots are almost fork-tender, add in the thinly sliced chicken and cook for two or three minutes, until the chicken is just cooked through and tender. Pay attention not to overcook the chicken, this process doesn't take long.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the fish sauce, salt, and sugar, adjusting each to suit your tastes.
  • Serve the curry in bowls, over jasmine rice. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges.

1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, diced into bite-sized pieces
3 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed
2 to 3 teaspoons ground turmeric
2 teaspoons ground ginger or 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 to 4 tablespoons Mekhala Organic Yellow Curry Paste, or as desired
one 13.5-ounce can coconut milk (use full-fat for a richer/thicker result but lite may be substituted)
1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
2 to 3 cups fresh spinach, loosely packed (2 to 3 heaping handfuls)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons lime juice, optional but recommended
1/4 to 1/3 cup fresh cilantro or to taste, finely chopped for garnishing (basil may be substituted)
1 to 4 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed; optional and to taste
salt, optional and to taste
rice (jasmine or basmati) or naan, optional for serving

Steps:

  • To a large skillet, add the oil, onion, and sauté over medium-high heat until the onion begins to soften about 5 minutes; stir intermittently.
  • Add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is done; flip and stir often to ensure even cooking.
  • Add the garlic, turmeric, ginger, coriander, and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant; stir frequently.
  • Add the curry paste, coconut milk, carrots, and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium, and allow mixture to gently boil for about 5 minutes, or until liquid volume has reduced as much as desired and thickens slightly.
  • Add the spinach, pepper, and stir until the spinach has wilted.
  • Taste the curry and add the optional but recommended lime juice (brightens the flavor of the dish), cilantro, optional light brown sugar (balances the heat), optional salt (I did not add any because the curry paste has salt in it), and add extra of any of the spices already used or more curry paste, if desired and to taste.
